It's like he hates being there but can't be arsed to leave? People who work in Amazon warehouses, the place The Last Worker is so blatantly satirising, do so because they have to. He even treats his only friend, a fouth-mouthed AI named Skew with contempt.
Why should I care about this man who obviously doesn't even care about himself? To that statement he just murmers something about wanting to go to sleep, and honestly, it confused me. Especially as he's told later on that the outside world isn't looking to great. I assume this is answered later in the game, but I struggle to see what Kurt's motivations are for staying in this dead-end, lonely job as the last human being there.
THE LAST WORKER GAME FULL
Once upon a time the Jüngle factory seems to have been a bustling workplace full of humans, but now only Kurt is left as the titular last worker and this begs the question why he didn't leave his job to follow his pregnant lover who quits Jüngle in the intro. Hollywood actor Jason Isaacs plays Skew, a foul-mouthed malfunctioning robot, while Icelandic actor Ólafur Darri Ólafsson voices the player character, Kurt.Įvents in The Last Worker are steeped in mystery and a short intro video illustrates player character Kurt's induction into the Amazon-like shipping company Jüngle. Perhaps that's why I didn't seem to enjoy The Last Worker as much as other reviewers did, I don't know, but it's certainly possible that the gameplay could markedly improve after this point. Secondly, my impressions below, and in this week's VR Corner above, are only based on approx 2 hours of gameplay and I was feeling rather ill with what could possibly be Covid (although I'm still testing negative) at the time of recording.
THE LAST WORKER GAME SOFTWARE
If this trend were to be continued by the majority of publishers and developers, the world of VR gaming would be a much busier and better place and the sooner other studios and software houses follow the example set by Wired the better. Before I start talking about my time with The Last Worker, I feel I should preface this week's episode of Ian's VR Corner with a couple of points.įirstly, the game's publisher Wired Productions should be absolutely praised for not only making The Last Worker available to play in both flat-screen and VR modes, but also its upcoming Lemmings-like puzzler Tin Hearts too.
